Description

Henry Wood’s medley Fantasia on British Sea Songs was arranged in 1905 to mark the centenary of the Battle of Trafalgar. For many years it has been an indispensible item at the BBC’s Last Night of the Proms concert. Wood’s arrangement comprises nine parts, although over time the original version has been cut to make it a more manageable length, as has this brass band transcription. The movements selected are The Saucy Arethusa; Tom Bowling; Jack The Lad (The Hornpipe); Home, Sweet Home; See The Conquering Hero Comes; Rule Britannia.

Duration: 6’30”
